This book is underpins my political views and why I do the research I do- we are all happier and healthier if living in a more equal society- it is a statistical not just a moral argument Heartbreaking that the UK is more unequal now than in the 1930s.

@WendyPMitchell Wendy was an amazing lady. She supported us with one of our research studies and I learnt so much from her. Wendy was always a pleasure to have around and generous with her time. She has made such an impact on the world. An inspiration to us all.

@kerrynhusk Best are the ones where people say they will delete all emails on return and you are to resend the email when they are back if its still relevant. I think you need to be fairly established in one's career for that out of office!

What a really good take on the realities of co-production. Certainly going to think about this terminology going forward.
